sports motorcycle sportsHow much money does the AMA Supercross champion win?
Also to know is, how much money do you get for winning Supercross?
At the 2018 Monster Energy Supercross Series, the purse payout was a total sum of $86,807 paid to the riders. Top rider Marvin Musquin won $12,000.
Also asked, how much do motocross riders get paid a year?
Pro motocross doesn't come with an "average" salary. Top riders can make $12,000 for a single race, compared to $16,405 annually for a rider who finishes dead last in every race in the season.
James Stewart, with 50 victories, is possibly the most spectacular rider in SX, and the current rider with the most wins. 84 national titles up to the age of 16 says a lot about Stewart and his two AMA SX titles came in 2007 and 2009. However, the champion of champions is Jeremy McGrath, who has 72 SX wins to his name.
